Difference between revisions of "Talk:Hexen"

Revision as of 10:23, 25 July 2016

From what I've been able to gather, the console editions of Hexen (PSX and N64) have some extras that weren't in the PC version. Since I don't have either of those systems, I'd be interested if someone can fill in what the differences are. Ettingrinder 08:01, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Adding intro quotes.

I'm going through the level pages and adding the storyline text blurbs that you see at the beginning of each level. If there's any issues with that, let me know. Xcalibur201 06:05, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Obviously there are potential copyright issues whenever someone copies in chunks of text like that.  At the bare minimum, a source should be given.    Ryan W 15:33, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I have similar concerns. It's an old game, but original content should always be sourced. It's just that I haven't found the author yet. I do want to include that stuff, because it makes a nice addition to the articles, and it provides an easy reference. Xcalibur 12:41, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

You don't have to find out which Raven employee wrote it.  Just put something like "From the in-game intro screen: " above each excerpt (example).    Ryan W 18:27, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Which enemies, weapons and items only appear in full version?

Perhaps it could be nice to add notes about which enemies, weapons and items only appears in the full version, like the Heretic page does?

Swamp Demo and other beta oddities

The "Swamp Demo" map was not likely to be an early version of Darkmere, but instead the mysterious unaccounted-for swamp level pictured in Raven's original beta press release screenshots of the game, which can be seen here. The swamp map pictured there is significantly different from Darkmere. It MAY have been the "Black Crypt Swamp" level which Kevin Schilder mentioned in his email to me as being the map the "cryptr" music track was originally written for, though I have no direct evidence for that.

Other notable differences/oddities in this set of screenshots:

• Dark Bishops in Winnowing Hall?!
• Display of players' fourth weapons on the status bar hasn't been completed yet (shots show players using them, but status bar doesn't show them).
• Wrong sky on the Forsaken Outpost (red angry clouds; commercial release has dark blue w/thunder and lightning).

Speculation

While I respect your contributions so far User:Xcalibur, you will need to defend addition of speculative details to this article. We treat the game manuals as secondary canon (with the games themselves being primary), so I need you to explain why you have the opinions you have on the transformation of individuals in the various parts of the Cronos Triumvirate. Otherwise I cannot approve the current revision as is. --Quasar (talk) 10:23, 25 July 2016 (CDT)
